He was selected as a post-season California League All-Star and the Dodgers minor league player of the year. He was promoted to the AA Chattanooga Lookouts for 2014 and was selected to the mid-season Southern League All-Star Game. He was also selected as a post-season All-Star as he hit .280 with 28 homers and 73 RBI in 135 games. After the season, he played with the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League and was selected to the AFL Top Prospects List.
On November 20, 2014, Schebler was added to the Dodgers 40-man roster in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft and he was assigned to the AAA Oklahoma City Dodgers to start the 2015 season.
